What Qualifies as a Wrongful Death in Georgia?

In Georgia, a wrongful death occurs when a person dies due to the negligent, reckless, or intentional actions of another party. This can apply to a wide variety of fatal incidents, including:

• Car or truck accidents

• Motorcycle collisions

• Workplace or construction site accidents

• Medical malpractice

• Dangerous or defective products

• Nursing home neglect or abuse

• Criminal acts or violence

If someone else caused your loved one’s death, a wrongful death lawyer can help you understand your rights.

Who Can File a Wrongful Death Claim in Georgia?

Georgia law limits who can file a wrongful death claim. Generally, the following individuals may bring a claim:

1. Spouse of the deceased (and may represent minor children)

2. Children (if no surviving spouse)

3. Parents (if no spouse or children)

4. Estate representative (on behalf of next of kin or beneficiaries)

Best Law will help determine who has the right to file — and guide your family through every step.

What Compensation Can Be Recovered in a Wrongful Death Case?

There are two main parts to a wrongful death claim in Georgia:

1. The “full value of the life” of the deceased — including lost wages, benefits, and intangible elements like love, companionship, and time lost with family.

2. Estate claim damages — such as medical expenses before death, funeral and burial costs, and pain and suffering experienced by the deceased.

Our team works with financial experts to fully document and prove every aspect of your loss.

How Long Do You Have to File a Wrongful Death Lawsuit in Georgia?

In Georgia, the statute of limitations for most wrongful death lawsuits is two years from the date of death. However, certain circumstances (like criminal investigations or estate complications) may pause or extend that timeline.

To avoid missing this important deadline, contact a lawyer as soon as possible.
